and it isn't the right to peacefully assemble and petition the government.

This is the logical extension of what the Left has been doing for years, sliming the opposition, and now life threatening attacks on innocent bystanders and people.

But it was Ward Churchill who said the twin towers harbored "Little Eichmans" on the morning of 9/11. And now, Cub Souts.

A little later, a busload of Cub Scouts were en route to the convention, where they were to present the colors to open the convention. A group of protesters--liberals, Obama supporters, or whatever--blocked the road, surrounded the bus, and attacked it, rocking the bus back and forth, denting and scratching the sides, and generally terrifying the children trapped inside. The left-wing protesters attacked a number of buses in the same way, but there is something especially despicable about attacking a group of Cub Scouts.

And not content with these acts of terrorism against children:

The most shocking events are described by Jim Hoft, who was on a bus that was attacked from above when a group of protesters dropped sand bags on to the top of the bus. This is attempted murder: if the protesters had succeeded in hitting the windshield, a sand bag would have crashed through and killed the driver. The resulting accident would have killed or injured others on the bus. To my knowledge, the left-wingers/would-be murderers were not caught.

These are the children of the Left. Their extended families doing what the Left will not condemn and demand swift punishment.

Yakoff Smirnoff is a comedian from the Soviet Union who became famous by comparing life under communism to life in the US. His punch line is, "What a country!"

He now performs in Bronson, MO and I hope he reads the following and works it into his routine.

As most of you will remember, Scooter Libby was an advisor to Vice President Cheney who got himself chopped up in the politically motivated Plame witch hunt. Convicted of obstruction of justice (lying to the FBI) and perjury, even though the FBI knew who had leaked Plame's name to the press....Richard Armitage who had confessed so there was no need for an investigation....Libby was sentenced to 30 months and lost his license to practice law.

Contrast that to this:

August 28, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Bilal Mazloum, the brother of convicted terrorist Wassim Mazloum, was sentenced yesterday to one year of probation, having been previously convicted of lying to the FBI during the terror investigation of his brother.

Mohammad Amawi, 28, Marwan El-Hindi, 45, and Wassim Mazloum, 27 were found guilty on June 13 after a two month trial of, “conspiring to kill and maim persons outside the United States and conspiring to provide material support for terrorism “ - having joined in a plot to recruit and train terrorists to harm U.S. troops in Iraq.

Get attacked by the Democrats, 30 months and lose your means of making a living.

This comes from Grant M who gets a tip of my Vol cap, which I am still wearing even if their new Offensive Coordinator did lose the game last night with some dumb calls. And though it is supposedly about the West, I think it covers the South pretty well.

Rules of Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Nevada , Utah, Idaho and the rest of the Wild West are as follows:

1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.

2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.

3. Let's get this straight: it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

4. They are cattle. That's why they smell like cattle. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-80 & I-90 go east and west, I-25 & I-15 goes north and south. Pick one and go.

5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin' in during the hunts, we WILL shoot it outa your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

10. We open doors for women. That's applied to all women, regardless of age.

11. No, there's no 'Vegetarian Special' on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.

12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat . . IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!

13. You bring 'Coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long blonde hair.

14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish.

16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump crap ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!

A true Westerner will send this to at least 10 others and a few new friends that probably won't get it, but we're friendly so we share in hopes you can begin to understand what a real life is all about!!!

RAMADI, Iraq: Two years ago, Anbar Province was the most lethal place for American forces in Iraq. A U.S. marine or soldier died in the province nearly every day, and the provincial capital, Ramadi, was a moonscape of rubble and ruins. Islamic extremists controlled large pieces of territory, with some so ferocious in their views that they did not even allow the baking of bread.

On Monday, U.S. commanders formally returned responsibility for keeping order in Anbar Province, once the heartland of the Sunni insurgency, to the Iraqi Army and police.
